Book IV – Astrologia Munda<br />

Section III – Chapter IV<br />

the common people. Religion shall be slighted and impiety and wickedness<br />

shall increase among men, and no mercy or pity shall be found amongst them.<br />

This shall continue till either Saturn or Mars transit the cusp of the tenth house<br />

at the time of the Revolution, or shall then begin and continue at least until<br />

Mars has made on Revolution through the twelve signs of the zodiac. 1<br />

But if then Saturn is in Virgo and Mars aspects him out of Gemini, as has been<br />

said, and the Moon also translates her light to Saturn and she is in Sagittarius,<br />

there shall be misery upon misery, the mischief of mischief, the<br />

trouble of trouble, the tribulation of tribulations, the pestilence of<br />

pestilences and the misfortune of misfortunes; with all kinds of<br />

vexations, troubles and torments. Also, it signifies the destruction of kingdoms<br />

and translation of one kingdom into the power and under the subjection<br />

of another.<br />

Moreover, if the Moon when she translates 2 her light and nature to Saturn,<br />

either by conjunction, square or opposition, and the lord of the sign wherein she<br />

is when there is a partile conjunction, square or opposition between them 3 is<br />

then impedited, unfortunate, weak or afflicted, there shall be many<br />

diversities of mischief during the time of the Revolution. If then the Moon were<br />

eclipsed at the preventional, or to be eclipsed at the postventional full Moon 4<br />

immediately before or coming after any such configuration, the<br />

mischief and troubles threatened shall continue so many months as the Moon is<br />

or shall be eclipsed hours, reckoning from the minute she first begins to be<br />

eclipsed until the point she is free again. 5<br />

1 It takes Mars a little more than 2 years in his own cycle to make it through all the signs!<br />

2 Ramesey’s rather ’loose’ terminology here is somewhat confusing! If the Moon is applying to a<br />

planet, she is not ‘translating’ her light; she is committing her disposition to the planet to which she is<br />

applying. The ‘translation’ of light occurs when the Moon separates from one planet and immediately<br />

applies to another. Then the planet she commits it to must also receive it otherwise it is an affliction if<br />

the planet she is committing to is malefic!<br />

3 I.e. between the Moon and Saturn<br />

4 Again, it seems that Ramesey is confusing his terminology! The New Moon was called<br />

«conjunctional» and the Full Moon called «preventional». Here it appears he invokes two terms for<br />

the same thing, the Moon preventional and the Full Moon postventional! It is very difficult to know<br />

exactly what he means. The only time the Moon can be eclipsed is during the full Moon and not<br />

«post»! It is also very possible that Ramesey is distinguishing between a full Moon occurring pre-<br />

Ingress or post-Ingress and that is what he means by preventional and postventional! (See his further<br />

discussion for the eclipse of the Sun in which he uses the same language!)<br />

5 What Ramesey is saying is that with the preceding figure of the Moon applying to Saturn conferring<br />

her disposition, if the Moon should also be eclipsed then the significations of her application to Saturn<br />

will last as many months as the number of hours she is eclipsed!<br />
